I have a Lite-On DVDRW SHM-165H6S The discs I'm using are DVD+R Sony's. It is a compatable disc, it's been checked. I backed up two dvd's already using Decrpyter, Shrinker, etc. When I did the third, I decrpted it, shrunk it, then went to burn just as I had the two before it (usiung DVD Decrypter), and I got an error that says "Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present - Tray Closed)". I've tried restarting time and time again. I've tried system resoters, among other things. Now I can't even get the driver to read a DVD, let alone burn one. What's going on? How do I fix it>
Try this: Go into your Device Manager, and find your drive. Right click on it, and choose "Uninstall". After it uninstalls, reboot, and let Windows detect new hardware, and install new a driver for you. Good luck! You can also check to see if your drive has a firmware upgrade available.

Sony disc are JUNK you will make more coasters than movies If you only have one drive you must take the movie out and put a blank in, its then ready to burn and go buy Verbatim DVDRs for movies, you will be thrilled at the difference,they work and Sony's don't !!
@rbrock, I am absolutely amazed that you would make comments like this, I only use and recommend 2 brands of discs, Verbatim and Sony (made in japan)and they have NEVER let me down. where do you get the information that Sony are JUNK??
I have not been able to find Sony made in Japan disc I wish I could maybe I would have a different outlook
So therefore your statement of Sony being junk just doesnt hold water, maybe you should Sony (NON Japanese made) are , in YOUR opinion, JUNK.....until they fail me I will continue to sing their praises, I do however prefer Verbatims.
